INNOVATION, DISCOVERY AND ENRICHMENT The Yale Gordon College of Arts and Sciences awards bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees, and post-bachelor’s and master’s degree certificates that encourage innovation and discovery and enrich the intellectual lives of the college’s students and faculty members. Through interdisciplinary and discipline- based programs in the arts, humanities, and social and natural sciences, the college offers visionary, integrative learning and teaching environments enhanced with rapidly evolving information and communication technologies. Our graduates learn to be reflective, skilled communicators, adept at addressing contemporary problems within an ethical framework and able to adapt to a changing world. Well-prepared for the world of work, our students become broadly informed and deeply engaged in local, regional and world communities. The college was founded in 1937 as a junior college emphasizing the liberal arts. In 1961, it became a four-year institution offering day and evening classes; 1974 marked the introduction of its first graduate program. In 1975, it became an upper-division college and graduate school. Now that the University offers four-year programs, the college continues its commitment to offering a variety of unparalleled graduate programs and outstanding undergraduate programs. In 1982, the College of Liberal Arts was named for Yale Gordon, a University of Baltimore alumnus and businessman who understood the central importance of the humanities in higher education and in the life of a community. With his wife, Peggy, he established the Peggy and Yale Gordon Trust, which supports organizations, such as the Yale Gordon College of Arts and Sciences, that are dedicated to advancing the humanities. In 2010, the college was renamed the Yale Gordon College of Arts and Sciences to reflect a strengthened, expanded foundation of general education and arts and sciences courses to enhance student success. Although teaching and learning are of primary focus, the college places considerable importance on research and public service for both faculty and students. Theoretical and applied research among faculty members enhances the quality of our academic programs and ensures the competitiveness of our students and graduates in the workplace and beyond. As a public institution, the college recognizes its responsibility to the state and to the Baltimore metropolitan area. The work of the Ampersand Institute for Words & Images, various specific projects undertaken in conjunction with enterprises like CityLit Project, and programs like Legal and Ethical Studies and Integrated Arts, and those contributing to game design and counselor education have an impact on the growth and development of the community that reaches far beyond the campus borders.

STUDENTS The approximately 1,850 men and women enrolled in the Yale Gordon College of Arts and Sciences— about two-thirds of them in undergraduate programs—represent about 30 percent of the total University of Baltimore student population. About two-thirds of the college’s undergraduate students are enrolled full time. Many of the remainder are already working in a wide variety of careers, and most of the college’s students—whether undergraduate or graduate, full time or part time—balance job, family and school responsibilities. Some students are seeking advancement in their current careers; others are preparing to change careers. This diversity of age and experience is an important and invigorating part of campus life. Classes take place both during the day and in the evening, and most undergraduate majors can be completed entirely in the day, in the evening or through a schedule combining these.

FACULTY College of Arts and Sciences faculty members are leaders in teaching, research, scholarship and service to the community. Full-time faculty members teach both graduate and undergraduate courses, conduct sponsored research, publish papers and articles, and engage in public service as consultants, board members and volunteers. The college’s teaching faculty also includes a cadre of adjunct professors who are leading professionals and practitioners in dozens of fields—from government to the arts, nonprofit organizations to businesses. These adjunct faculty members contribute in significant ways to creating and advancing professional applications of the arts and sciences. A number of the University’s administrative staff also serve as adjunct faculty members.

 Complete the last 30 credit hours required for the degree at the University of Baltimore.

Note: Any deviation from the program requirements described in the catalog requires the written permission of the dean of the Yale Gordon College of Arts and Sciences.

ACADEMIC MINORS Students who have completed 24 credit hours with a 2.0 cumulative GPA may declare a minor, which is a cohesive set of courses designed by faculty members to provide students with an opportunity to cultivate skills and knowledge through concentrated study in an area that is not the major. Minors may focus on one discipline or may be interdisciplinary; they require 15 to 21 credits. Completing a minor is optional, and students should seek the guidance of an academic adviser when selecting a minor to understand how the minor requirements may be completed in conjunction with their degree. For more information about minors offered and further requirements, see Academic Minors.

OPTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS TAKING GRADUATE COURSES Undergraduate students who have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.2 and have completed at least 90 credits applicable to a degree (senior standing) may request enrollment in graduate courses as part of their undergraduate degree. Enrollment requires the approval of the directors of both the undergraduate and graduate programs in question. With this arrangement, undergraduate students are

135 permitted to take a maximum of 6 credit hours at the graduate level, and these credits are applied strictly to the undergraduate degree. Undergraduate students taking graduate courses being applied to an undergraduate degree pay usual undergraduate tuition. Consequently, all application and approval forms must be completed prior to registration.

ACCELERATED BACHELOR’S/MASTER’S OPTION Undergraduate students of recognized academic ability and educational maturity may fulfill the combined requirements of the college’s bachelor’s and master’s degrees via a variety of accelerated bachelor’s/master’s options. This is different from applying to enroll in graduate courses as part of the undergraduate degree, as described above. This accelerated option requires a minimum of 141 credits, depending on the requirements of individual programs. A maximum of 9 graduate credits, completed at the undergraduate level, may be applied simultaneously to the requirements for the bachelor’s and master’s degrees. In some cases, students may cross disciplines. Those interested should discuss their proposals with the appropriate program directors. To be eligible for an accelerated bachelor’s/master’s option, students must have a cumulative 3.5 GPA or higher; to remain in the program, students must maintain at least a 3.5 GPA in their undergraduate coursework and at least a 3.0 GPA in their graduate courses. To take advantage of the option, students need the approval of the dean of the college and of the appropriate graduate and undergraduate program directors, and must elect to take advantage of the option prior to beginning the last 30 credits of their undergraduate degree. Moreover, students must secure approval for participating in the option as special students in the appropriate graduate program and pay the applicable fees. Students taking advantage of this accelerated option may register for up to 9 credits of graduate coursework during the last 30 hours of their undergraduate degree. The undergraduate and graduate program directors will select the appropriate graduate courses for each student upon election of the option. These courses may not include independent study or research, individual research, directed study, thesis, internship or practicum courses. Changes in the program of study require approval of both the undergraduate and graduate program directors. Students must be in continuous enrollment at the University of Baltimore for this agreement to remain in effect. Those who fail to maintain the eligibility requirements will be dropped from the accelerated option. Applicability (if any) of graduate courses to the undergraduate degree will be determined on an individual basis. Students should be aware that graduate courses applied to both undergraduate and graduate degrees at the University may not transfer as graduate credits to another institution. In addition to electing the accelerated bachelor’s/master’s option, a separate application for admission to the graduate program (including payment of applicable fees) must be completed during the final semester of the bachelor’s program. Admission to the graduate program must be effective the first regular semester after completing the credits required for the bachelor’s degree so that there is no break in studies.

Kopelke, Patschke, Rhee

The Digital Communication program—housed in the Klein Family School of Communications Design— leads to a B.A. Digital, mobile and social media are now integral to the communication strategies of businesses, nonprofit organizations and government agencies. Employers are looking to hire communication specialists versed in writing, media design and production, public relations, and strategy development as they relate to the technologies of the 21st century. In this program, students learn how to write and design effectively for digital media; explore the impact of digital technologies on 21st-century communication, business, arts and culture; examine business applications of digital media; perfect strategies for informing and persuading audiences; and think critically and creatively to solve problems and adapt to new technology environments. The program is designed for people who are entering freshmen or transferring from community colleges and four-year schools, as well as for working professionals who want to develop their digital communication skills further, either for continued advancement in their present careers or as preparation for a career change. Students enter the program from a variety of backgrounds, including production areas, such as graphic design, photography and video, as well as business, English and other humanities disciplines. Once in the program, students broaden their information and skills base. Through a set of five core courses that provide a broad-based, practical understanding of communication in the 21st century, students explore the history, theory and impact of communication media, especially digital and social media. They then choose a nine-course specialization in digital theory and culture, media design and production, or public relations.

Sharing a core of six courses, all specializations emphasize the development of the critical thinking and communication skills that are necessary for success both in the world of work and in the pursuit of advanced degrees. The major prepares its students for positions in publications and communications—media production, graphic

148 design, electronic publishing, writing, editing and public relations, for example—and provides a sound basis for graduate work in areas such as literature, rhetoric, creative writing and the law. Extracurricular opportunities for English majors include Sigma Tau Delta (the national English honor society), the literary magazines Welter and Skelter, and the University newspaper, the UB Post. The division is also affiliated with CityLit Project and the literary journal Passager.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND HUMAN ECOLOGY, BACHELOR OF ARTS www.ubalt.edu/environmental

Stanley Kemp, program director FACULTY: Castanzo, Gerlowski, Haynes, Kassner, Kemp, Kohl, Pecher, Porter, Wells, Wilson

Students in the environmental sustainability and human ecology program study—often through hands- on learning—the interrelationships of people and their environment from scientific, social, ethical and public policy perspectives. From a science perspective, they gain a solid understanding of environmental science terminology, concepts and techniques. They explore the diversity of life and ecosystems of the world, and they participate in hands-on study of the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed. Students also study the effects of urban center growth on local ecosystems and focus on the concept of sustainable development. Adding social sciences to the mix, students gain a cross-cultural perspective on how human populations adapt technologically, socially and psychologically to their environments, and how people alter the living and nonliving worlds around them. Cultural heritage preservation is also a significant component of the program. Combining this with policy studies, students learn how environmental public policy is formulated, how it affects the health of the environment and how it’s shaped by ecological considerations. They also examine the ethical and legal implications of the use, treatment and potential destruction of the natural environment. When they graduate, students are prepared to deal with the real problems facing communities worldwide, from Baltimore to cities in the developing world. They go on to work in fields as varied as environmental compliance, permitting, environmental hygiene, environmental interpretation, education, environmental consulting, cultural heritage preservation, cultural resource management and museum curation in private, government and nonprofit sectors.

FACILITIES On the fourth floor of the Academic Center, a general science laboratory with 24 workstations provides a hands-on environment for students to put their knowledge into practice. On the second floor of the same building, the environmental science laboratory contains equipment and materials that allow environmental science faculty members and students to investigate local ecosystems at molecular, microscopic and organismal levels. Just down the hall from this lab is the cultural resource management lab, where archaeology and heritage preservation research is performed. The newest facilities addition is the mesocosm lab on the basement floor of the Learning Commons.

The B.A. in History program is administered through the Division of Legal, Ethical and Historical Studies. The program provides students with a broad background in the humanities. It sharpens the analytical and communication skills necessary for advanced training and career development. As such, it has thrived as one of the traditional programs of study for students who go on to careers in law, government, business, education, nonprofit organizations and other professions. The program is also designed for students who wish to pursue graduate work in the humanities, social sciences or other professional fields. The program is a flexible one. It includes basic coverage of period courses in American, Asian and European history, plus more specialized thematic courses in the history of law, business and ideas. In addition, students may select the program’s specialization in public history leading to a B.A. in history with a specialization in public history. Public history is the professional application of historical methods, skills, research and presentation in settings outside the classroom. Public historians work in museums, archives, government agencies, historical societies, living history sites, preservation groups, businesses and nonprofit organizations of all kinds, either independently or in partnership with academic institutions. Students in the public history specialization combine standard history coursework with public history courses, seminars, independent research and an internship designed to introduce them to various specialties within the field as they gain practical experience in a variety of professional settings where historians work. The public history specialization requires 15 credits, including a foundation course on local history, two public history core courses and two specialized electives. There are also plenty of opportunities for directed research through independent studies, internships at local historical agencies or museums, and a senior seminar. Moreover, students working on such projects find easy access to some of the best archival and other resources in the Greater Baltimore region.

The undergraduate B.A. in Integrated Arts program, administered through the Klein Family School of Communications Design, invites students to experience arts production and performance while studying arts analysis and management. Students concentrate in one art that interests them most—whether it be visual art, music, theater, dance, creative writing, filmmaking. When they graduate, students are prepared to work for businesses, nonprofit organizations and government agencies that deal in, represent or interact with artists and the arts—perhaps in addition to managing their own freelance artistic career.

INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES, BACHELOR OF ARTS www.ubalt.edu/interdisciplinary

Diedre Badejo, program director ADVISORY BOARD AND AFFILIATED FACULTY: faculty and staff members across the Yale Gordon College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Public Affairs and the Merrick School of Business

The B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies program, the university’s DIY major, allows students to create a course of study anchored by three areas of individualized study, including wide-ranging and inventive combinations of academic disciplines. The program is designed for students whose intellectual interests and professional goals are best served by extended study in more than one discipline. Students construct a cohesive program around themes, topics or areas of concentration not confined to a single discipline, thereby allowing flexibility not found in a standard program. The program also includes an honors track that allows greater opportunity for students to create an individualized major, working closely with an interdisciplinary studies faculty member throughout the program. Students who graduate from this track attain special recognition at the commencement exercises for having completed honors-level work. Students should consult with the program director for additional information. Important note: Students should not confuse the interdisciplinary studies program with various University course requirements that use the IDIS course code, such as IDIS 301, IDIS 302 and IDIS 304. The interdisciplinary studies major, in contrast, requires IDIS 201 Introduction to Interdisciplinary Studies and IDIS 497 Interdisciplinary Studies Portfolio, then draws on courses across the curriculum. Thus, the IDIS subject code includes interdisciplinary courses that are not specific to the major, some of which serve to meet graduation and general education requirements.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS See the Admission section of this catalog.

Information Literacy Students in the B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies program will meet the University of Baltimore information literacy requirement by successful completion of:  IDIS 110 Introduction to Information Literacy (3)

169 information; make ethical and evidence-based decisions within real-world contexts; understand systems and think systemically; and negotiate divergent and competing perspectives. See the University-Wide Degree Requirements for details regarding general education requirements at the University of Baltimore.

Program Plan Requirement A degree candidate develops a program plan through coursework requirements for IDIS 201 Introduction to Interdisciplinary Studies. This plan becomes the foundation for creating a unified and cohesive course of study throughout the interdisciplinary studies major. This program plan then becomes the platform for developing a final capstone learning portfolio as part of the coursework for IDIS 497 Interdisciplinary Studies Portfolio.

Interdisciplinary Studies Requirements (42 credits) IDIS 201 Introduction to Interdisciplinary Studies (3)

Concentration Areas (36 credits) First concentration area (12 credits minimum/300-level or above) Second concentration area (12 credits minimum/300-level or above) Third concentration area (12 credits minimum/300-level or above)

Areas of individualized study may be drawn from any major or minor offered at the University of Baltimore as well as from disciplines not offered at the University of Baltimore with the approval of the program director. At least one of the three areas of concentration must be an arts and sciences discipline.

Capstone Portfolio (3 credits) IDIS 497 Interdisciplinary Studies Portfolio (3)

Students in this capstone course practice articulating their individualized major to prospective employers, graduate schools and others by developing resumes and cover letters, as well as a polished portfolio that represents their work as interdisciplinary majors.

General Electives Students who plan to major in interdisciplinary studies are strongly advised to use these elective credits to fulfill all introductory and pre-major requirements in the disciplines that they intend to use as areas of individualized study in their planned interdisciplinary studies program. Interdisciplinary studies students must fulfill all prerequisites that apply to courses selected for use in concentration areas (see above).

Complete as many courses as necessary from any discipline to fulfill your 120-credit requirement to graduate.

JURISPRUDENCE, BACHELOR OF ARTS www.ubalt.edu/jurisprudence

Josh Kassner and Steven Scalet, program directors FACULTY: Carney, Cotton, Guy, Kassner, Ripple, Sawyer, Scalet, Taggart

The B.A. in Jurisprudence program is a selective, interdisciplinary academic program designed for serious students, many of whom go on to law school, graduate school, public service or law-related careers in the private sector. Students in this major examine topics related to law and legal theory through the study of philosophy, history, literature, government and public policy. Students strengthen decision- making, problem-solving and leadership skills. This major reflects the commitments of many universities in the U.S. and abroad: to create a flexible and interdisciplinary course of study in the humanities and social sciences that focuses on different aspects of law for students interested in law or law-related careers. At UB, the jurisprudence major emphasizes pre-professional education alongside the broad- based, legally focused liberal arts education. The program is administered by the philosophy program through the Division of Legal, Ethical and Historical Studies. Qualified students may seek early admission to the School of Law upon completion of 93 credits through the Law School Early Entry Option, which allows students to begin studying law prior to the completion of the bachelor’s degree and to substitute the first year of law school for the senior year of college.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS Jurisprudence is a selective major that grants admission to all qualified applicants. Applicants must meet the University’s general admission requirements as well as the program-specific admission requirement of a cross-institutional cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better. This requirement applies to students admitted under freshman standards and to transfer students. Applicants who do not meet this criterion for admission to jurisprudence but who meet requirements for undergraduate admission or for choosing an academic major may select another major. If, between the time of first admission to UB and the successful completion of 72 credits applicable to the degree (including transfer credits), such students raise their cross-institutional cumulative GPA to 3.0, they may petition for a change of major to the jurisprudence program. See the Academic Policies section of this catalog.

171

Transfer students are not required to have majored in any particular field of study or to have taken any particular course of study; however, all jurisprudence majors must meet any course requirements for the B.A. in Jurisprudence program as outlined in this catalog with either acceptable transfer credits or credits earned at UB. Applicants who are interested in the 93-credit Law School Early Entry Option are cautioned to read UB School of Law requirements for this option carefully (see www.ubalt.edu/prelaw) and to seek advisement regarding their current standing and progress toward meeting these requirements. Freshmen and sophomores who are interested in this major should meet with the jurisprudence program director as part of the transition process to an academic major. Transfer students must meet with the jurisprudence program director prior to their first registration at UB.
